Confirmed from Myron and Sonya Glassberg Family Conservation Area's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Myron and Sonya Glassberg Family Conservation Area
“There are a few sections that wind through fields and they are beautiful!”
Really nice park and trail. The elevation isnt bad and parts of the trail are gravel. It winds thru some really pretty areas. The lake is completely empty. First time there, looking forward to returning in the spring. Lots of moss and mushrooms!
Great trail. The loop is about 3 miles long. Add half a mile if you want to walk around the lake, too. The trail is well maintained. Safe, but strenuous. There are a few sections that wind through fields and they are beautiful!
Great, medium intensive, 3 mile plus primary trail. Variety of fields, streams, ponds, and forests. Lots of inclines and winding trails. Fun and challenging for amateurs and the experienced, alike. Make the trip to this nicely put together park.
Lived near this trail and finally got to go hike it. Beautiful trail in memory. Wide clear trail at steep incline. There’s a stream with a 3 foot waterfall on the way up and a small pond reservoir. Beautiful view from the top. Seemed like it’s a popular trail as the parking lot was fairly full.

“Drawbacks are: not set up to entertain small children, no designated picnic area and no restroom facilities unless you consider the trees.”
